“What do you mean I don’t understand?”

“Mom, why was Butler Pan suddenly locked up? What happened?”

Jiang Minghua really didn’t understand. Her parents treated the butler very well, especially her mother. Usually, when her father wasn’t around, the two of them would talk and laugh.

For her father to suddenly lock Butler Pan up, something must have happened that she didn’t know about.

Song Yan’s expression was dejected. She confessed to her, “Your fourth brother isn’t your father’s son. He’s Butler Pan’s son!”

Jiang Minghua’s eyes widened in surprise. “No wonder fourth brother looks a little like Butler Pan. I thought it was because Butler Pan took care of fourth brother more often. They both look similar.

However, Jiang Minghua was still confused. “Fourth brother is Butler Pan’s son, but why did Father lock Butler Pan up?”

As she asked this, she never considered that her mother would betray her father!

Se??ch ?ew?o?e?. o?g o? ?oo?l?

Song Yan looked at her daughter’s confused eyes and suddenly found it difficult to speak.

“Minghua, your brother is the child of me and Butler Pan.”

Jiang Minghua was speechless.

Jiang Minghua stared at her mother in shock.

After a while, she snapped back to her senses. “Mom, you mean that you betrayed Dad?”

“It’s not entirely my fault. Your father was too busy with his work back then.

Ever since I gave birth to you and was in a bad emotional state, Butler Pan was always by my side and took care of me. I know it’s inappropriate, but I couldn’t control myself.”

“Minghua, you should be able to understand me. When you broke up with your first love and got together with another man, it was because you found someone who moved your heart, right?”

Jiang Minghua frowned. She thought, “How could this be the same?

The prerequisite for her to change boyfriends was that she wasn’t married.

It wouldn’t be appropriate to find another man after getting married, right?

“You’ve hidden it from us for so many years. Why don’t you continue to hide it?”

“It’s all because of that b*stard Jiang Jingchen. He called Song Kai over and told your father what happened back then. He found out that I was with Butler Pan.” Song Yan complained as if it was all Jiang Jingchen s fault.

If he hadn’t called Song Kai over to expose her, she might have had a happy and peaceful family.

Now, everything was ruined!

“What do we do now?”

“Minghua, Mingyang is your younger brother. You must help him. You must

not let anything happen to him.”

Jiang Minghua got along quite well with her younger brother. Naturally, she didn’t want him to be harmed.

But who could stop her father from making a decision?

“Mom, what should I do?”

“Think of a way to save Butler Pan and get him to look for Mingyang. We must

not let anything happen to Mingyang.”

Jiang Minghua heard her nervous tone and was a little confused. “Mom, what about me?”

“What?”

“You actually don’t know anything about what happened to me today?” Song Yan didn’t know what had happened on the Internet. “Minghua, weren’t you at the hospital? Did they find something during the examination?” Jiang Minghua felt that her mother didn’t care about her at all, and her heart ached.

“Mingyang is far away in a foreign country, and you act like this just because he didn’t contact you for a morning. Yet, in front of your eyes, you turn a blind eye to what I’ve been through. Mom, how could you do this? Back then, Dad didn’t accompany you, but second brother and I accompanied you. In your eyes, there was only Jiang Mingyang, and we don’t matter at all!” Song Yan was stunned. She didn’t expect her daughter to have such thoughts. “Minghua, it’s not like that. I was worried about your younger brother being harmed. You’re safe by my side. I care about you a lot.”

“No, you don’t care at all!”

Jiang Minghua felt extremely wronged when she thought about how she had been surrounded by reporters today and how she had been insulted online.

She had thought that she was in a very happy family. Although there was an eyesore like Jiang Jingchen, he had been recuperating abroad all year round and wouldn’t interfere with their lives at all.

Now that he had returned to the country, her family was in turmoil. Her so-called happy family had also become an illusion.

Her mother actually betrayed her father, gave birth to a son with another man, and stayed in the Jiang family for so long.

Her father cared about his reputation the most. He had been cheated on and had even raised someone else’s son for so many years. He would definitely not forgive Pan Cheng.

Now, her mother asked her to save Pan Cheng at this time, her father would definitely be angry and might even chase her out of the Jiang family.

Even her mother schemed against her and she still claimed to care about her.

She thought, “Liar!”

Jiang Minghua’s heart was filled with resentment.

The man she had once trusted completely had betrayed her and teased her. Now, he was going to release that video and let everyone insult and humiliate her, ruining her reputation!

Her parents ignored her and didn’t care about her at all!

And all of this was Jiang Jingchen’s fault.

If Jiang Jingchen hadn’t returned to the Jiang family and fought for the shares of the Jiang Corporation, her father wouldn’t have been driven to this point.

If Jiang Jingchen hadn’t schemed against her mother, her mother’s matter would never have been exposed.

Their family will still be harmonious and beautiful. They wouldn’t have ended up in ruins like this.

She would never let Jiang Jingchen off!

Jiang Minghua had many plans to plot against Jiang Jingchen. She wouldn’t have an easy time, and she will make sure Jiang Jingchen doesn’t have it easy either!

However, she had to find someone to delete those videos on the Internet. She called the platform’s staff, but the staff said that they couldn’t make a decision and had to communicate with the higher-ups.

Jiang Minghua was furious. Although Jiang Jingchen was in charge of the Jiang Corporation, she was still the Third Young Miss of the Jiang family. How could they be so perfunctory?

■’Let me talk to your higher-ups. That video has violated my rights. I can sue you!”

The higher-ups picked up the call. They assured her that they would delete the video, but the backstage operation still needed time, so they told her not to be anxious.

Jiang Minghua was furious. How could she not be anxious? They weren’t the ones involved, so of course they weren’t anxious.

After waiting for a few hours, the videos under Wu Rui’s account were deleted, and Wu Rui’s account was also suspended.

Jiang Minghua opened her account again, and the number of private messages insulting her increased again.

Someone even sent her videos, claiming that they had saved the video. In the future, they could watch it when they were bored. If they could watch it with her face to face, that would be even better. They wondered how much Third Young Miss would charge for a night.

She thought, “You’re the f*cking one who’s out to sell!”

Jiang Minghua cried in anger. How could there be such disgusting people? However, no one would help her bear all the pain. She had to endure it alone.

The next day, when Jiang Minghua went downstairs for breakfast, she only saw Jiang Xing.

She asked why her mother hadn’t come to eat, and Jiang Xing’s expression turned cold.

“In the future, without my permission, she can only stay in the guest room.

This was house arrest for her mother.

However, Jiang Minghua dared not plead for mercy and ate her breakfast obediently.

Jiang Xing wasn’t in good health. He put down his chopsticks after eating two mouthfuls and took his medicine before going upstairs to rest.

Not long after, she heard a servant report that Butler Pan was making a scene in the basement and was trying to escape.

Jiang Minghua sneered in disdain. “A butler, who is also a servant, actually dared to touch her mother. He should have died long ago!”

However, her father would definitely not let him off. Jiang Minghua didn’t want to interfere either. She still had her own things to do.

After breakfast, she carried her bag, put on her mask and glasses, and left. She first went to the university laboratory to get something and called to ask for Jiang Jingchen’s location.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t go to work today, so she drove to his villa.

When she arrived outside the villa, the door was locked. She got out of the car and wanted someone to open the door.

However, no one paid attention to her. She roared angrily, but there was still no movement.

The security guards heard the commotion and asked Jiang Minghua. “Madam, they didn’t open the door. They might not let you in, or they might not be at home.”

The security guard’s meaning was obvious. Regardless of the situation, since the door wasn’t opened, she should stop making a scene. If she made too much noise, she would be the one to lose face.

Jiang Minghua looked inside unwillingly and kicked the iron door hard.

“Jiang Jingchen, you have the guts to do evil, but don’t you have the guts to face me? Coward, jerk, come out!”
